Enclosure in Tonnagh, County Leitrim

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Situated in a low-lying position amongst low drumlins. It is depicted as a curved hachured feature (C c. 30m) that might be the W edge of an enclosure only on the 1911 edition of the OS 6-inch map. An overgrown curving scarp (C 25m; H 0.8m) may be the remains of the N part of an enclosure, but the rest of the perimeter is not discernible.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LE027-114
